This was my First Interview Experience

I got a mail inviting me directly to the interview with the CTO, through my GitHub Profile and my past Open Source Contributions. I sent my Resume to her. After a week I got a reply,

Got a Calendly event for setting up the 20 mins. interview with CTO. The interview went amazing, he asked about my past open-source contributions, what part I have contributed and how you implemented those things. [ACE]

Now, I received a call and mail regarding the positive result, Now there was a link for the Final Interview with Sr. Software Architect.

This Interview Lasted for Half an Hour, where he asked Deep Questions about React ( implementation part ), then he asked about the features they are trying to implement in Hackerrank, what can be the best practice/approach to apply a particular feature. for me, a tough question was - "How can we avoid the use of containers, when we are developing something similar to GitPod?", I am unable to answer this question well, and maybe this is the rejection of my SWE Internship. [Rejected]

The next day, I received my Rejection Mail.
